Ingredients
 

  • 2 tbsp Finely chopped pine nuts
  • 200 g Marzipan
  • 20 ml Orange juice
  • 4 Splash Rum Flavoring
  • 1 pinch Ginger bread spice
  • 1 pinch Ground cardamom
  • 75 g Hazelnut nougat
  • 2 tbsp Finely chopped pistachios
  • 1 pinch Cinammon
  • 2 tsp Finely sifted powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Roast the pine nuts in a pan without oil and leave to cool. Roughly chop the marzipan and place in a bowl. Mix the orange juice and rum flavor. Add to the marzipan together with the gingerbread spice and cardamom, knead to a smooth mass and shape about 10-12 balls out of it. Chill for about half an hour.
  • Mix the cinnamon and powdered sugar. Melt the hazelnut nougat in a water bath, stirring repeatedly. Cover the chilled marzipan balls with it, sprinkle with the chopped pistachios and allow to dry.
  • Finally, dust with the sugar-cinnamon mixture and serve or keep refrigerated. The marzipan balls taste delicious as a little sin in between meals, but they also look good on a plate with winter / Christmas dessert variations. Have fun trying it out and continue to have a nice and harmonious Advent season!
